100×150 Metal Building
15,000 sq ft 16 to 24 ft eave
A 100×150 metal building delivers 15,000 square feet of clear-span, column-free floor space, enough for a single-tenant warehouse, a regional distribution building, a light manufacturing floor, or a large commercial shop. Universal Steel of America is a US manufacturer: we engineer every frame to your local snow, wind and seismic code, fabricate the red-iron steel in our own plants, and ship it ready to assemble.
The 100-foot clear width carries the full 15,000 square feet without an interior post, so forklift aisles, racking rows and production lines run uninterrupted end to end. We have plants in every region of the United States and ship from the closest plant to your site, serving the US and internationally across the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, South America and Africa.

Popular uses for a 100×150 Metal Building
Warehouse and storage
A 100x150 gives 15,000 square feet of clear-span warehouse with no interior columns to interrupt racking or forklift aisles. The 100-foot width and 16 to 24 foot eaves suit multi-level pallet racking and high-bay storage. It is a common single-building size for regional inventory and bulk goods.
Metal warehouse buildingsDistribution and logistics
The 150-foot length leaves room for several racking bays plus a staging and dock area, making this size a practical regional distribution building. Clear-span framing keeps the floor open for cross-dock flow and truck loading. We engineer eave height and door openings around your trailer and dock plan.
Distribution center buildingsLight manufacturing and industrial
Fifteen thousand square feet of column-free floor suits production lines, fabrication and assembly with room for overhead crane rails. We can frame for crane loads, taller eaves and heavier roof loads where your process demands it. Red-iron framing handles the point loads that light-gauge buildings cannot.
Industrial steel buildingsLarge commercial and retail
A 100x150 works well for a strip retail center, showroom, auto service center or restaurant shell where a wide, open span and clean facade matter. The clear span lets you lay out interior tenant spaces without structural columns in the way. Finishes and openings are fully customizable.
Commercial steel buildingsRiding arena and equestrian
At 100 feet of clear width, this size comfortably exceeds the 60-foot minimum for a working riding arena and gives ample run-out at each end over the 150-foot length. The column-free interior keeps the riding surface fully open. We can add stalls or tack rooms along one side.
Riding arena buildingsGymnasium and indoor sports
The 100-foot clear span clears a full basketball court or indoor soccer pitch sideline to sideline, and the 150-foot length allows spectator and support space. Tall eaves give the ceiling height that court sports need. It is a strong fit for school, church or community athletic facilities.
Gymnasium buildingsWhat a 100×150 footprint fits
At 100 feet wide by 150 feet long, this size lands in the large-commercial and mid-industrial range. The 100-foot span clears a regulation basketball court or indoor soccer pitch sideline to sideline, and the 150-foot length gives a warehouse room for several racking bays plus staging and a loading area. It is one of the most flexible 15,000 square foot envelopes we build.
Engineered for your load case, not a catalog
Every 100×150 is a pre-engineered metal building drawn to the conditions at your address. We size the primary frames, purlins and bracing for the snow, wind and seismic demands of your county, then stamp the drawings. Eave heights from 16 to 24 feet and beyond suit high-bay racking, overhead cranes or mezzanine offices, and clear-span, multi-span and modular frames are all available.
Living quarters and mixed use
If your plan includes an apartment, office build-out or shop-with-living-space, a 15,000 square foot shell leaves plenty of room to frame interior quarters. A barndominium layout is possible at this size; see our barndominium page for living-quarters builds, while this page focuses on the commercial and industrial uses that suit a 100×150 best.
100×150 Metal Building questions
How much does a 100x150 metal building cost?
Industry-typical pricing for a 100x150 metal building runs about $10 to $18 per square foot for the engineered steel shell, roughly $150,000 to $270,000. A finished turnkey project, including concrete, erection and basic finishes, commonly totals $360,000 to $525,000. These are estimates, not a Universal Steel quote; your engineered price depends on loads, height, finishes and site.
How much does a 50x100 steel building cost compared to a 100x150?
A 50x100 building is 5,000 square feet, one third the floor area of a 100x150. Industry-typical kit pricing for a 50x100 is roughly $50,000 to $90,000, while a 100x150 shell runs about $150,000 to $270,000. Cost does not scale exactly with area because wider clear spans need heavier frames.
How much does a 100x200 steel building cost compared to a 100x150?
A 100x200 building is 20,000 square feet, about one third larger than a 100x150. Industry-typical turnkey pricing for a 100x200 often lands around $480,000 to $700,000, versus roughly $360,000 to $525,000 for a 100x150. The wider you go the more steel each frame carries, so price rises with both length and span.
How much does a concrete slab for a 100x150 building cost?
A concrete foundation for a 15,000 square foot building typically runs $3 to $8 per square foot, or about $45,000 to $120,000. The range depends on slab thickness, reinforcement, footings and soil conditions. Heavier industrial floors and crane footings sit at the upper end.
What is the clear span on a 100x150 metal building?
A 100x150 is built as a 100-foot clear span, meaning the full 100-foot width is column-free from sidewall to sidewall. All 15,000 square feet of floor stays open, with no interior posts to work around. This is ideal for warehouse racking, riding arenas and court sports.
Can a 100x150 metal building be used as a barndominium?
Yes, a 15,000 square foot shell leaves ample room to frame living quarters alongside shop or storage space. That said, a 100x150 is a large footprint better suited to commercial and industrial use; most barndominium owners choose a smaller size. See our barndominium page for living-quarters builds.
